1 Answer: Full Gear Coupling - A Full Gear Coupling Has A Toothed Hub Which Is Fixed in Both

A full gear coupling has toothed hubs fixed in both the driver and driven shafts that mesh with internally toothed sleeves. A half gear coupling has a toothed hub and internally geared sleeve on the driven shaft, while the driver shaft has a rigid hub that bolts to the driven shaft's sleeve. Both couplings contain O-rings to retain lubricating grease and prevent air and moisture from entering.

Full gear coupling - A full gear coupling has a toothed hub which is fixed in both
driver and driven shaft, and sleeves which has internal teeth meshing with the hub.
Below is the cut section of a full gear coupling, this will make you understand better.

Half gear coupling - A half gear coupling has a toothed hub on the driven shaft
along with an internal geared sleeve and the driver shaft has a rigid hub. The rigid
hub is bolted to the sleeve of the driven shaft. You can understand with the following
figure -

In both the figures, O-ring is for holding the lubricating grease inside the coupling
and preventing the ingression of outside air and moisture.

I hope this basic information helps.
